Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger was the ninth of fourteen crossover movies shown during the Super Sentai Versus Series Theater, a special event on TV Asahi during the run of Tensou Sentai Goseiger. As with the others, this movie was aired in two half-hour parts an hour before the week's episode of Goseiger, there was also commentary at the beginning and end by the Goseigers about the teams and the storylines within the movie.

This vs. Movie is one of the first where a previous Ranger team lends their mechas to the current team to create a new formation. This idea would be rarely utilized in most installments of the VS. series, but in some isolated cases would lead to an all new mecha formation such as the ToQger-Ninninger fusion of Lion Ha-Oh, ToQ-Oh, Build Dai-Oh.
